The Delaware Apartment complex, made up of 161 units within three (3), five-story buildings, is part of a smart-growth mixed-use planned community near the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Swift Street. The creation of housing and commercial space will continue to support the economic development of Santa Cruz.
Bogard has been hired by UCSC Physical Planning, Development and Operations (PPDO) to provide Owner's Representation through Construction and ultimately assist with transition into Operation.
Pursuing all opportunities to provide more housing to current students and help reduce the local housing crisis, UC Santa Cruz will house up to 400 upper-division undergraduate students and more than 60 employees in this facility.
The housing development on Delaware Avenue is just a few miles from the residential campus with excellent access to existing Metro and campus transit routes, as well as the Coastal Rail Trail. It is also near several other UC Santa Cruz facilities, including the Coastal Science Campus, the Westside Research Park, and the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. UC Santa Cruz will lease the buildings from Redtree Partners, which owns and is constructing the project. The apartments are being built using prevailing wages, ensuring good jobs for workers.
